Meta Ray-Ban Display Smart Glasses Launched: Price, Features, Where To Buy & Men’s Limited Edition Options
Meta Platforms, led by Mark Zuckerberg, unveiled the Meta Ray-Ban Display on September 17- its first smart glasses with a built-in screen and what CTO Andrew Bosworth calls the company’s “first serious product” in the category. The glasses feature a 600×600-pixel right-lens display with a 20-degree field of view, brightness up to 5,000 nits, and a 12-megapixel camera capable of 1080p video. A neural wristband detects hand gestures for controls like pinching, swiping, and mid-air writing (coming later this year). Battery life is six hours per charge with a case offering 30 additional hours, while the wristband lasts 18 hours. Supporting apps at launch include Messenger, WhatsApp, and Spotify, with Instagram Reels arriving in a future update. Available in black or sand, two sizes, and limited prescription builds, the glasses are sold via Ray-Ban, LensCrafters, Best Buy, and select Verizon stores. Meta aims to sell over 100,000 units by the end of next year.
